Anal Itching
Posted: 07-22-07 21:14pm

Hey sorry if not correct section. Anyway i have this very Itchy Anal and it stops me sleeping at night seems to only come on at nightime but no bleeding. When i touch the inside of my anal i can feel lumps other times not does this sound like hemorrhoids. Is it best to go and pluck up the courage and bite the bullet and see the Doctor.

You may be suffering from parasites especially if it happens at night. You could also be experiencing hemorrhoids but that would be something you feel during the day as well.
Definatley go see your doctor about it. But my personal experience tells me that you have what I had and that is parasites. These caused me to experience extreme itching and it did happen during the night and sometimes I would wake up scratching. I went to see a naturopath and was told to do a cleansing program. I started the colonix program and changed my eating habits and I have never looked back. NO MORE ITCHING. Good luck and let us know what you found out and what you are doing. Keep in touch

Based on my research, it's less likely hemorrhoids. It perhaps be a skin irritation or allergic symptom. Anyway, I myself "had" anal itching for almost 13 years and esp, at every night..how many nights for 13 years!! No exception of at least one night! But now, it's gone!!! I'm telling ya! It's gone!

I don't have to scratch my anus and bleed and have shallow-sleep(being irritated by itching and scratching and being conscious) through the night any longer!

Recently I took a generic version of "Loratadine" tablet(pill) that is actually an active ingredient of "Claritin" allergy relief for 24 hours for hay fever, runny nose(by allergies) and etc. What it does is blocking "histamine" bonding to its receptors. This bonding is a main cause of most allergic reaction(e.g "itching" on your skin with rashes). The cause of "histamine" releasing(allergic cause) is varied; but if this "histamine" reaction in your body can be blocked, itching can't persist. This is what all "anti-histamine" drug exactly and basically do in your body(in your blood) when you take an anti-histamine allergy tablet from such as Claritin, Benadryl, Allegra, Zyrtec etc.

To get to the point, after I took "Loratadine" tablets (genetic version of Claritin and much cheaper, too) for 3 days (the actual reason was for my skin irritation with rash), the agonizing(esp. at night time with no sweet dream) anal itching is gone! And it's been about a week passed now and it's not coming back(should not...)! It's just one week but I had itching every day for 13 years without an exception of a single night; so... surely, based on the fact that I described above about the correlation between histamine and anti-histamine drugs, taking anti-histamine drugs(in my case, taking "Loratadine" 24 hour tablet) cured the disease.

So, do you want to try? Do it! Smile Take one 24 hr tablet every 24 hours for several days. I'd be very happy if I can hear that by any chance, anyone get cured, too b/c of the sharing of my story.

Good luck!

You may also be suffering from Candida, which causes an itchy anus. This is usually caused by taking antibiotics, consuming too much alcohol or sugar and having a poor diet. It is caused from the yeast in your intestine, which becomes a fungus. Check into it and see if this may be your problem.
